Welcome to My Housewarming Party!! GIVEAWAYS!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to My Scrap Cabin!! If you're here because you were a follower of Scrappin' Sisters, I am relieved you have found me in my new home! If you're brand new to me, then welcome!! I'm so glad you're here!

Making the decision to split our blog and branch off into our own individual ones was NOT easy. Kelly and I have always done pretty much everything together our whole lives. I'm so lucky to have her as my sister. When we first started out in this blogging world, we just wanted to be able to participate in some of the online challenge sites, for which you needed to have a blog. Never did we dream we would actually become so involved, be on design teams, madly creating projects on a daily basis- or ever think there would be a reason NOT to share a blog. But it has been brought to our attention on more than one occasion that sharing a blog could eventually create problems or even become a conflict of interest for the places we design for.

SO, unfortunately, this decision was inevitable. It's interesting how something as simple as this could cause such heartache- when really, nothing changes. Kelly will still be sharing her creations and so will I, we will still talk on the phone a hundred times a day, we'll still share all the things that we always have...just on different pages. My husband joked, "Don't worry- all duos eventually break up- even Brooks & Dunn" (one of our fave country duos).

Yeah, thanks for that, Josh. Lol.

BUT- I don't want this to be a sad beginning. I want it to be positive and FUN!! SO- I've got some giveaways- YES, GIVEAWAYS (plural)- for you!! How many giveaways?? Hmmm...I'm going to need YOUR help with that one! My first giveaway is this random gathering of goodies:

So how do you win- and earn even MORE giveaways?? Well, since I'm faced with the dreaded task of rebuilding my following, I'm going to BUY your love. Yeah, I'm shameless- I'm going to BUY your love! They say you can't buy love? Well, I CAN!!! :D

SO- in order to be be entered into my drawing, you must first become a follower. If you'd like TWO additional entries, share my giveaway on Facebook or Twitter. And if you'd like TWO MORE additional entries, share my giveaway on your own blog!! Then just leave a comment with what you did and I will keep a running tally sheet right here showing the number of times your name will be entered into the drawing!!

Whoo-Hoo!!! I've reached 125 Followers!!!! So, as promised, I get to offer up ANOTHER GIVEAWAY: A mystery pack of chipboard!!!!!!!! I LOVE chipboard, and you've probably seen it used a time or two ;) on my projects- so I want to share the love with YOU and send one of my lucky winners a random pack of chipboard! :D

**GIVEAWAY #4:**

I have now reached 200 followers!! So I get to offer up Giveaway #4: (16) sheets various foreign papers!! I have had he privilege of being able to work with papers from all over the world, much to the credit of C'est Magnifique. That is what drew me to them in the first place as it is SO HARD to get your hands on these papers- so here is YOUR chance to get a great variety of them all in ONE shot! I've included paper from The Scrap Cake (Poland), 7 Dots Studio (Poland), Meg's Garden (Australia), Les Papiers de Pandore (France), Papiers Sultane (France), and Riddersholm Design (Denmark).

**GIVEAWAY #5:**

I've reached 250 followers!! So that means...ANOTHER giveaway!! The lucky winner of Giveaway #5 will receive a $15 gift certificate to the online store of their choice!!

Thank-you ALL SO MUCH for the overwhelming support!!

NOW, how do you get me to reveal another giveaway???? As soon as I reach 300 followers, I will reveal Giveaway #6! If I get beyond that, I will do a giveaway with every 50 new followers! I'm pretty sure I could go broke with this, but I don't care :)- as long as we all have fun, right?!?!?!?

OH- and did I mention that this is open INTERNATIONALLY???? I have many, many overseas friends and I want everyone to have a chance here!! So share the love- tell your friends, help me build up my blog a little- and win something, okay?! You have until midnight June 30th Central Standard Time to enter. I will announce the winners shortly thereafter.

GOOD LUCK and see you SOON!!

Hey, Erin! I am definitely following you wherever you may go...haha! Congrats on the new blog. I know it seems overwhelming, but I know you will continue to grow & become even more successful. You and Kelly both inspire me all the time, so I can't wait to see what you two have in store :)

AWWWW! That note from your sister is CLASSIC! I'll also follow where ever you lead- the idea to have a due blog is so awesome but I can see why you would need to spilt up is there are conflicts of interest- I personally love both your work so it's just a matter of hit follow twice and wishing you both continued happy scrapping- you both have too much talent to need luck.:)
